Is it normal to be this nervous?? I couldn't wait for him to get here but now that that it's crunch time I'm actually terrified 😓 I've never done this whole airport pick up thing before. And I'm starting to doubt myself. I just want him to have a good life!

I was super nervous, anxious, excited when I picked up Archie for the first time! And being a first time dog owner I had thoughts running through my mind that I was going to kill him by forgetting to feed him or break his legs by accidentally stepping on him.
Luckily *touch wood* he is fine, no broken bones! And its over 3 months old! Ha!

I panicked like that before getting each of my chis, especially the first one. lol I'm sure the anxiety and doubts will go away once he gets home and settles in. I think it's normal to be nervous. After all you're getting this little living creature which you will be responsible for their whole life so it's a serious commitment. But usually once the puppy is home it just feels like the best thing ever. I'm sure it'll be fine and you won't regret it.

You will be fine Im excited for you!! Enjoy every moment

Oh gosh that's exactly how I feel! I've had dogs growing up but a 50 lb lab is a lot different than a tiny chihuahua baby 😂 So many things could go wrong! I'm trying to focus on the positive though, haha. How old is Archie now?

He's my first one (and probably my only, at least for awhile lol) so the nerves are really getting to me. I'll get to see him in about an hour now 😆

Yeah, I'm just so nervous! It's like getting a child lol, nothing to joke around about. Luckily I have a very supportive SO, a great breeder, and you guys in case I need any help! Thank you for the encouragement 😃
